Frankenbourg Castle has been officially closed since April 2025 due to rockfall. You can only get within a few hundred meters. Unfortunately, due to the dense forest, you can't see it. Instead, I recommend the southern Chateau de Saint Ulrich, which is a lovely hike from Ribeauville.

From its height of 702 meters, Chalmont offers a beautiful view of Lièpvre, at the beginning of the Val d'Argent. To enjoy the panorama, a pretty little path provides access to a rocky promontory.

The view of the Rhine plain and the Hochkönigsburg is very nice. There is also a bench to sit on. There are shadows too.
